MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
The Magic is Gone
Legacy sequels like Practical Magic 2 shouldn’t exist just for nostalgia but try telling them that.
Soul Crushing
You can tell summer is over when the animated offerings turn dead serious and aim at the olds, like Decorado.
Alternative Therapies
Really, the solution to all life’s problems is a good, long walk according to Santiago: The Camino Therapy.
Choose One
The Dating Menu isn’t really food porn, but it is a step up for Amos Why and an announcement for Frankie Chung.
Back in Time
If you wished introducing your partner to your parents could have gone better, Back to Love will speak to you.
Dinner for One
Food is the love language in Kim Tae-yong’s Number One, a high concept love letter to mom’s cooking.
Adorably Dark
Chiikawa the Movie: The Secret of the Mermaid Island is aggravatingly cute. That’s either wonderful or a waking nightmare.
Brand New? Really?
Brand new is hardly a way to describe Spider-Man: Brand New Day but it doesn’t matter because ka-ching!
Toys are Forever
Toy Story 5 is exactly like the first four Toy Storys. You’ll be crushed by that idea or delighted by it.
ET Grown Up
Steven Spielberg is back in alien territory with Disclosure Day. But which aliens?
Puh-ppies!
If you’re a soft touch for a cute dog movie, well, happy to say Gohan has three.
Friends for Lives
Tony Leung teams up with Hungarian filmmaker Ildikó Enyedi and heads into the forest for Silent Friend.
Still Too Soon
Guan Hu loses the plot in A Man and A Woman, the year’s most tedious non-romance so far.
